Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Tournai
To create a treasure hunt in Tournai, the places are already there: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Tournai, Beffroi de Tournai, Grand-Place de Tournai. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Tournai, the quest is still to be written
Here is what it could look like: the stops already exist in the city, the riddles do not yet.

Tournai is explored around its stone landmarks: the Notre-Dame cathedral and its towers, the belfry that overlooks the Grand-Place, and the Pont des Trous, a gothic water gate on the Scheldt. The Saint-Quentin church opens onto the Grand-Place, which is lined with gabled houses. The centre is compact and a treasure hunt can fit into a morning of easy walking. The city has no quest yet: this page presents the places that could be part of one.
Three possible quests in Tournai
Towers and stone around the cathedral
A heritage route centred on the Notre-Dame cathedral: towers to spot, portals to observe, carved details to copy. The riddles rely on what the team sees by looking up.
A family case on the Grand-Place
Children lead the investigation on the Grand-Place: gables to compare, the belfry to spot, the Saint-Quentin church to find. Adults read the clues and validate the answers before moving on.
An evening from belfry to Pont des Trous
For a group of friends, a race between teams linking the belfry, the Grand-Place and the Pont des Trous beside the Scheldt, with a break on a terrace before the scores are compared.
